"Right at the onset of that titanic struggle, the 9th Scottish Division was cast ‘into the furnace of ‘Devil‘s‘ and | Longueval, the latter a German strongâ€" 'hold of immense strength. Those 12 |Scottish battalions put up.a glorious |fight against enormous odds. The 9th | were in an unenviable positionâ€"an elâ€" |bow beyond the main British line that J was open to fire from three sides. Hurâ€" iricanes of machine gun and shell fire swept those hardâ€"won Scottish gains. For eleven hours on July 18 the enemy plastered ‘Devil‘s‘ and Longueval in a cannonade which was probably the heaviest the division had ever sustainâ€" "From July 1 to Nov. 18, 36 inbm.rfi battalions, or three of the four Scottis divisions, in the most appalling condiâ€" tlo?l, were eng;ie‘d in a protracted series of battles that tried the enemy to the limits of his endurance and markâ€" ed a turning point in the Great War. _ A wenly years ag the flower of Scotland‘s manhood ‘went over the top‘ in the first and mightiest battle of the Bomme. Thousands never came back. "For thousands of Scotland‘s3 ‘New Army‘ lads, the first and best ‘of the war recruits, the Somme was their first fight. In a week from June 24, when you can say that the battle really began, to July 1, the greatest artillery concentration ever seen, wheel to wheel, muzzle to muzzle, poured into the enemy‘s ‘impregnable‘ positions more shells than had been fired in the whole first 12 months of the war. In a cataract of fire gun muzzles were a du)] red heat. " in every cranny of the Somme, the 9th, 15th and 51st left their mark. To the survivors, every hamlet and wood is a grim and vivid memory. And of all those fortified death traps none will be more greatly in the old Scottish frontâ€" liner‘s mind today than Delville Wood, which the 9th Scottish boys called ‘Devil‘s,‘ the notorious Butte de Warâ€" lencourt. Martinpuich, Hamel! and High Wood which the French knew as the ‘Bois de Foureaux.‘ | _ What can I tell you now of the 15th| | Scottish Division? 1 can tell you how,| " on Sept. 15, they stormed Martinpuich | | and three lines of trenches, taking | | nearly 700 "Kamerads" and a score | | more of guns, at a cost to themselves of | ©1800 killed, wounded and missing. "Every available man from the Highâ€" land brigade counterattacked towards ‘Devil‘s‘. For a second, as the Highâ€" landers â€" saw the fieldâ€"gray ranks swarming from the southâ€"west corner of the wood, both sides hesitated. For all who took part in the attack this was the most thrilling moment of the year. Then ‘Forward, boys,‘ came the crg from the Scottish left, and the 9t surged on in an irrestible wave. The Germans wavered, fired a few feeble shots, then boited precipitately into the sheiter of the wood, refusing to face a force less than a quarter of their own strength. _ â€" Once more in October the long sufâ€" fering 9th were sent back into that vast pockâ€"marked auditorium, this time to the infamous Butte de Warlencourt. By now the conditions were appalling. With each step men sank in Somme mud beyond their knees, and beyond their waists too. The leading waves of the Seaforths advanced in perfect order, only to be swept away by a blast of lead. Then the Argylls in support became involved ‘iin the slaughter. The attack broke own. L Then it was the turn of the Camerâ€" ons, and the German garrison near the Butte fled in confusion. When Fritz countered, the Camerons killed them in scores. Again the enemy came back; again the Camerons repulsed them. When the shattered battalions were relieved, all the obiectives of the attack had been secured. Another engageâ€" ment was beyond the boys‘ capacity. "In ‘Twenty years ago the flower of 36 Scots Battalions In wenty Years Ago War‘s Mightiest Battle And so a Scottish epic of the:Somme muno:x‘..

The cause of /the blaze was undeterâ€" mined. Attempts by some residents to drive them away with a hose proved unsuccessful. The birds circled around and alighted at another point a few yards distant. Prompt action by bystanders and employees prevented a fire and posâ€" sible explosion of serious proportions here Saturday, when gasoline vapors from a breather pipe in an underâ€" ground gasoline tank ignited sending flames high in the air.
